Tessa Thompson as Beneatha Younger

Tessa Thompson's role in the film "For Colored Girls" can compare to Beneatha Younger's role in "A Raisin in the Sun." Like Beneatha Younger, Tessa Thompson is pretty but it's her hair that makes her look pretty. In the film she will be going to college and she is the only one that is smart in the family. Both Tessa and Beneatha needed money for college. Also, she does not have the same views as her mother, just like Beneatha. Their mother are into church and God but Tessa and Beneatha do not believe in all of that. There is no one who can play Beneatha's role better than Tessa Thompson.
